Nothing was going right for Dr. Turner at the hospital. He made a mistake while operating on a patient. He felt sure he was no longer trusted and decided to change his job. One day he learned from the paper that a doctor was looking for a partner(合作伙伴). The doctor, whose name was Johnson, lived in Thorby, a small town in the north of England.
A few days later Dr. Turner went to Thorby, and arrived at Dr. Johnson’s home early in the afternoon. Though old and a little deaf, Dr. Johnson still had a good brain. He kept talking to the visitor about the town and its people. When they turned to the question of partnership, it was already seven in the evening. Dr. Johnson invited Dr. Turner to have dinner with him in a restaurant before catching the train back to London. Dr. Turner noticed that Dr. Johnson was fond of good food and expensive wines. They had an excellent meal. When the bill was brought, Dr. Johnson felt in his pocket. “Oh, dear,” he said. “I’ve forgotten my money.” “That’s all right,” Dr. Turner said. “I’ll pay the bill.” As he did so, he began to wonder whether Dr. Johnson was worthy of trust.

With only fish and birds for company, Eric Erden has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his 23-foot-long boat since he left California on July 10, 2009.
But crossing the Pacific is only part of his incredible journey. Eric has decided to go all the way around the world using only his own energy. He will row, bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. Oh, and his plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents along the way, to honour the memory of a fellow climber.
He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal, but he hopes to have some great adventures along the way.
As a solo traveller, Eric has already faced disappointments and challenges. Because he has to row about ten hours a day, he brought along an MP3 player to listen to music and pass the time. Unfortunately, the nearly daily tropical rain for several months has forced him to keep his player packed away where it's safe and dry.
Storms and huge wave wind regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s all part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started. That's why I gave myself two years to finish.”
Protein bars（蛋白棒） give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove. A solar-powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but only when the sun shines. When that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in buckets.
He’s not bothered by any of the hardships. Eric sees the world as a laboratory where there is much to learn. And when his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people - especially children. He has already visited several schools and shared his story.
小題1:Why is Eric making this trip?
A．To encourage children to reach for their goal.
B．To learn more about the world around us.
C．To have many great adventures in strange lands.
D．To honour the memory of a fellow climber.
小題2:What does Eric plan to do on each of the six continents he will visit?
A．Visit schools to share his story.
B．Study the culture of the local people.
C．Climb the tallest mountain.
D．Cycle from one end to the other.
小題3:When does Eric expect to finish his journey?
A．July 2009.B．June 2010.
C．January 2011.D．July 2011.
小題4:Which of the following words best describes Eric’s character?
A．Determined.B．Intelligent.
C．Fearless.D．Lonely.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容完成后面各項(xiàng)任務(wù)
In the Charles E. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings（警報(bào)）about bad weather.
One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news:a heavy storm was coming. William Tom, principal（校長）of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.
Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.
“The radio really did work very well.             （我們對它的工作感到很高興），”William Tom said. “The parents were as well.”
The U.S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.
Every year, more than 10,000 big thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes（龍卷風(fēng)）and some hurricanes（颶風(fēng)）take place in the U.S., so the warning radios are very useful. They not only give people warnings about bad weather, but also give warnings about other dangerous things.請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，簡要回答下列問題.

Recently the “China dream” has been the subject of a public topic. Although it is quite common for Chinese people to dream of an empowered or a prosperous(繁榮) China, most people also have their own dreams. Throughout China’s thousands of years of history, these “China dreams” have always existed. Do you have a “China dream”? I brought up this topic with several young Chinese students with higher U.S. educational backgrounds. Unsurprisingly, they all had their own heartfelt hopes and dreams for their native country.

Fred Wang, an MBA candidate in the U.S. said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China. Equality means all young people can compete fairly, based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”
Yujie Zhao, another MBA candidate in California said, “I dream of a happy family with an affordable home. I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line, and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they retire(退休).” She said, “It seems like all my dreams are about family, but it is so true for most Chinese young dreamers today.”
Yiqiong Zhang, an MBA graduate from the US shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build and manage a small bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life: to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year. This may be a common dream among young Chinese students.”
There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own “China dream”. They all love China, they all love chasing their dreams. Beautiful “China Dream” requires hard work. Everyone should work hard to make their dream come true.
小題1:Which is right about the three young Chinese students?
A．They receive higher education in China.
B．They have their own hopes and dreams for China.
C．They receive education of all levels in America.
D．They have their own hopes and dreams for America.
小題2:What does the word “compete” in the second paragraph mean?
A．對待B．完成C．競爭D．成功
小題3:Yujie Zhao hopes that ___________.
A．a(chǎn)ll young people can have equal opportunities
B．she can have a happy family with a big house
C．her children can receive the best education in America
D．she can look after her parents well when they are old
小題4:Which one is NOT Yiqiong Zhang’s dream?
A．Working hard for about 20 to 25 years.
B．Managing a small bookstore or a flower shop.
C．Playing the piano and hiking in her free time.
D．Having a two-month holiday every year.
小題5:From the passage we can learn that  ____________.
A．“China Dream” is very difficult to come true.
B．“China Dream” does need everyone’s hard work.
C．“China Dream” is a subject we need to study in China.
